[IsMe2003]

LOL

Fellas, behold the holy grail of remote controls for  your HT setup.

I just bought a Logitech Harmony, but had I seen this baby before....SOLD.

I'd finally be able to evict the Keyboard and Mouse from the living room. (though they will return for Xbox 360 duties when my XIM adapter arrives)

Just re-read this thread and took a mental note to make a parang by IsMe2003 and while so doing, steal all of his audio equipment.

Also, noticed Captain Chris's post with this el cheapo HDMI Converter for composite sources (Think your flow cable box or Nintendo Wii)

http://cgi.ebay.com/Composite-3RCA-S-video-AV-HDMI-Converter-Wii-PS3-/110609011368?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c0cf92a8#ht_3256wt_1139

Now I've never been comfortable with ebay (though I did make a few purchases there recently that worked out alright) so I found the same product on Amazon for the same price.

Won't be useful for people with big screens that include composite input already, but if you're running a smaller screen with just HDMI / DVI / VGA (Like I do in the bedroom, with the 26" Asus), this baby lets you connect those older devices and cable boxes to your LCD.

Boom Bang....Connect.

Look Ma, No TV Card.

On another note, I see Nvidia has HDMI output with Audio support now as well. Making them a proper competitor to ATI in the Home Theatre space.

Seeing a GTX 460 in my not too distant future to replace that aging 8800GT currently doing yeoman's service in the living room.

Lol, doh forget to bring the gera duck and puncha-cream!

Yo Wyatt, what program you running on yua livin room pc for Theater? i was experimenting with Boxee that i i that was the shit, but then i saw XBMC 10 release 2 days ago (http://xbmc.org/), dammm it sweet it make boxee look like Tetris 1 for the Nintendo, 

Yua should check it out, plenty nice features

[rassmatic]

right now i'm putting the finishing touches on my movie collection in XBMC. i'll make a vid and upload it to youtube once it's done. XBMC is 1000% better than Boxee. trust me.

Boyyyy ah tellinn yua, i still cant beleive just how polished this thing is for ah open source app, it make boxee look like utter mess.

[rassmatic]

yup. combining it a sweet skin like Aeon65, and yuh doh want nothing better.

[TriniXaeno]

Totally agreed. I've been using XBMC for years ever since Neph mentioned it back in this thread in 2008.

http://www.carigamers.com/cms/forums/index.php/topic,15127.0.html

It kicks ass. Way faster and more responsive than all the others I've tried (Windows Media Center / Boxee / Media Portal / SageTV / etc..)

Loved the scraper and subtitle plugins.

Truly an awesome app (and that was truly an awesome thread)

We may have to do a 2010 version, now that I think about it. Update peeps with the latest and greatest software out there.

[rassmatic]

i doh ever use xbmc to scape movies. it more often than not selects the wrong movies for me. i use Ember. exceptional piece of software right thur.

[TriniXaeno]

XBMC did a pretty decent job with the scraping but I'm gonna try this Ember out now and see if its the better deal.

Always room for improvement in the HT game.

[rassmatic]

trust me, once u use Ember, you'll never use XBMC scrapers again. It's very easy to use and finding exactly what movie you want is a quick and painless process. every one of my movies and TV series were scraped using it. all files are stored in the movie folder, so if u ever, for some odd reason, decided to switch from XBMC to some other program, u wouldn't have to worry bout re-scraping all your movies. i eh want nothing better. here's a vid showing how easy it is to configure and use....

[MessiaaH]

Wyatt that keyboard u find is win, i see engadget have an article and dey say it works normal on a pc. I buying one of that tonihgt.

And XBMC with d transparency skin is WIN, but i go try d aeon lata.

[rassmatic]

For those who don't know, there are 2 really cool plugins for XBMC that I came across recently. Thought I'd share....

Sharethe.TV: ShareThe.TV is all about having a social media collection. Other websites let you manually add items to a library to show off your collection, but this doesn't make sense when you've already entered all that information into your media centre. We provide a service that lets you instantly share what's in your media collection without any work from yourself. This is done by using a plugin for your media centre of choice to automate the process.

Trakt.TV: Trakt helps keep a record of what TV shows and movies you are watching. Based on your favorites, trakt recommends additional shows and movies you'll enjoy!

I use the widget from both sites here (check out my sig). Just a easy way for all you movie buffs to show off your collections and share what show you've been watching.

[TriniXaeno]

Rage, I cannot seem to find Ember online again.

http://www.embermm.com/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi

Their website is saying its suspended.

They moved shop? closed up? The setup file doesn't work either.

You know of a mirror site or anything?

[rassmatic]

http://sourceforge.net/projects/emm-r/

i think the original Ember's dead. Ember Revisited it the new, up-to-date version.

if ur having any issues after installing, check the following page for solutions. the creators give regular help there...
